One online gaming company in New Jersey offered Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks $88,800 to legally change his name to "888.com."

In order to have the money directed to the charity of Nicks's choice, the name change would have to be reflected on every last one of his legal documents — driver's license, passport, bank accounts, etc. — and also on his jersey and in all Giants-related dealings.

Moreover, he'd have to keep the "888.com" name for a full year, though 888.com would pay for all expenses related to the name change.

“As we consider 888 to be the premier gaming site in the Garden State, we thought it was appropriate to align ourselves with other area notables," said 888 Holdings CEO Brian Mattingly, the mastermind of the proposal. "We couldn’t think of a more fitting local athlete than Big Blue’s very own number 88, Hakeem Nicks. We are also aware that Hakeem’s contract is up, so we hope that he sees this as a gesture to stay and as an opportunity to benefit a local charity that he supports.”

The whole proposition stems from New Jersey's recent legalization of Internet gambling.
